Your adventure begins in Reykjavik with pick-up at your accommodation. You'll meet the expert local guide leading you on the day's adventure before starting your journey out of the city. 

Prepare for a day filled with breathtaking sights, fascinating history, and unparalleled beauty.

The Golden Circle is a sightseeing route featuring three of Iceland's best-known attractions. You'll start your day trip by stopping at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of three national parks in Iceland.

Thingvellir National Park has waterfalls, mountains, lakes, and magnificent lava fields. It's also the place where the Icelandic parliament was first formed over 1,000 years ago. Your private tour guide can tell you about its history and significance on your way to the park.

At Thingvellir National Park, you can also see where two tectonic plates are pulling apart at the Mid-Atlantic Rift. Iceland is the only country in the world where this rift is above sea level. 

During your visit to the park, you have a unique opportunity to look closely at the edges of the two tectonic plates.

Your adventure continues as you visit the wonders of the Geysir geothermal area in the Haukadalur valley. Geysir is the explosive hot spring that gave its name to all other geysers worldwide. 

It's not very active today, but the neighboring Strokkur erupts every five to ten minutes, so you'll surely see an eruption.

The final stop on your tour is the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall. The word "Gullfoss" means "Golden Falls," and this is where the Golden Circle route gets its name. 

Gullfoss Waterfall is one of Iceland's most impressive waterfalls. It has a two-tiered cascade of over 100 feet (30 meters).

In summer, almost 5,000 cubic feet (141 cubic meters) fall from its crest every second. Its impressive power and majestic beauty make it a truly remarkable attraction.

After a fantastic day of sightseeing, your driver will take you back to Reykjavik in time for a relaxing or fun-filled evening. You should arrive in time for dinner or an evening enjoying the city's nightlife.
